Department of Health Records, 1871-2020

Container Title
Series: 5. Publications, 1871-2020
Scope and Content Note: This series is primarily made up of MHD or Wisconsin Health Department publications and reports, such as the annual reports of the department (some years are missing) as well as some of its divisions. Some of these are bound and unboxed and are noted as volumes. This series also includes periodicals, ledgers, writings, forms, clippings, articles, posters and various ephemera. Some of the items are drafts of artwork, brochures and forms. The topics for these materials include public health information or education. One such periodical is the Bulletin, which was issued monthly to inform citizens of public health issues. The name and frequency varied at times and some issues include annual reports. The run is not complete. Various ledgers included in this series are the “Record of Lying-In Hospitals and Baby Farms”, the “Emergency Hospital Investigating Committee Proceedings” and the “Physicians, Midwives, and Undertakers Register”. The “Record of Lying-In Hospitals and Baby Farms” includes information about births, parents, dates and midwives. The second volume is an index to the birth records in the first volume prepared by the Milwaukee County Genealogical Society in 1985. The “Emergency Hospital Investigating Committee Proceedings” where held in December 1895 and January 1896 regarding patient complaints of treatment received at Johnston Emergency Hospital. The “Physicians, Midwives, and Undertakers Register” includes dates, registrant’s name, address and education credentials. The entries cover physicians from 1882-1907; midwives from 1877-1907; and undertakers in 1907 (September and October). There is a cataloged index and transcription to this ledger. A transcription is also available for the “Record of Accidents, 1905-1907”. See “Other Finding Aids” for links.
